Local Gas Delivery Capacity Boost
Gulf South’s Parks Line Upgrade and Sorrento Station Project in St. Martin and Ascension Parishes, Louisiana would restore the pipeline to its certificated maximum allowable operating pressure of 1,000 pounds per square inch and allow delivery of an additional 236,000 dekatherms per day. The work includes replacing 11 pipeline segments (4.55 miles) and related upgrades described in the filing.
FERC Finds No Major Environmental Impact
FERC staff prepared an Environmental Assessment and concluded that approving the Parks Line Upgrade and Sorrento Station Project would not be a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The EA is available electronically and the Commission will accept comments on the EA until 5:00 p.m. Eastern on October 6, 2025.
